That's such a meaningless sentiment. Sure, I can try to "feel positive" about my ability to navigate or overcome systemic issues, but that doesn't make it so that I actually can. This is just "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" thinking with a toxic positivity veneer.
It's only as meaningless as you make it :)
It's not about positivity, it's about acceptance which allows you to navigate the situation better.
